Background Information:Reaction time-is the elapsed time between the presentation of a sensory stimulus and the subsequent behavioralresponse. RT is often used in experimental psychology to measure the duration of mental operations, knownas mental chronometry. The behavioral responseis often a button press but can also be an eye movement,a vocal response,or some other observable behavior.Simple reaction time is usually defined as the time required for an observer to detect the presence of a stimulus. For example, an observer might be asked to press a button as soon as a light or sound appears. Mean RT is approximately 180 to 200 milliseconds to detect visual stimuli, whereas for sound it is around 140-160 milliseconds.Go/No-Go reaction time tasks require that the observer press a button when one stimulus type appears and withhold a response when other stimulus types appear. For example, the observer is to press the button when a red light appears and not respond when a green light appears.Choice reaction time tasks require distinct responses for each possible class of stimulus. For example, the observer may be asked to press one button if a red light appears and a different button if a yellow light appears! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_time http://getyourwebsitehere.com/jswb/rttest01.html http://getyourwebsitehere.com/jswb/rttest01.html http://www.robrob8.com/games/reaction.htm http://reactiongame.net/
Hypothesis:I think the female are going to react first!Because the females always reacts to something, if it's something scary or if someone surprises them! The males are always strong, so they don't really react as much.
